A|X Armani Exchange is the metropolitan extension of the Armani world. It offers clean lines, loose silhouettes, neutral colours and efficiency free from any superfluous details, in a decidedly urban version of garments that are easily mixed and matched. The season’s colours are taken from a minimal range of neutrals, either dense black and blue or light beige and mastic, with intense touches of blue and red, and notes of mauve, antique blue and raspberry. Garments are designed for everyday wear, but a new sense of active formality emerges alongside the sweatshirts, shorts, t-shirts, parkas and bomber jackets that form the foundations of the A|X language and which naturally transition from masculine to feminine.
The men’s collection, for example, includes sporty blazers combined with ergonomically cut trousers that play down the idea of a suit, while the shirt jacket is workwear-inspired. The mix of materials and colours highlighting the various parts of the garments or linings is another identifying mark. The selection also includes down jackets, sleeveless jackets and rainproof nylon overcoats. Stonewashed denim is a strong presence and a point of connection with the women’s collection, which consists of loose blazers, fluid trousers, tops and pleated skirts. Materials are natural or technical and always with a marked attention to sustainability. The proposal is completed by accessories ranging from trainers to loafers with decisive soles and rubber slides, with a whole range of bags evoking different attitudes and ways of being: handbags, tote bags and backpacks in colours to complement the outfits.
